CPT Supporter - Israel Gulity of Illegal Occupation

Digging into CPT supporters (from their own links), I dug into the Mennonites of Canada website.

If you are a Mennonite - a Canadian Mennonite - let me ask - do you really believe Israel is "illegally" occupying the West Bank (and formerly Gaza too)?

An experience of Israel - MC Canada:

(We spoke with Israelis who live with the constant fear of suicide attacks and the inconsolable grief of having lost loved ones.)

We also experienced warm hospitality in Palestinian homes. We witnessed the crippling effects of the illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza: 60% or higher unemployment in some areas, long curfews in which entire villages and cities of Palestinian people are imprisoned in their own homes, interrupted schooling and commerce, houses shelled, sometimes with the occupants inside, crops bulldozed… the list goes on and on.

I spent a day in Hebron with Christian Peacemaker Teams and another in Gaza with Mennonite Central Committee personnel, and saw first-hand the destruction and suffering caused by the conflict fuelled by the Israeli occupation.

For more information on the Bat Kol institute see its web site, http://www.batkol.info.

Whew - this was nearly 3 years ago... SO it would seem at least Canadian Mennonites are A-okay with this article, as it has sat there, on your website for over 3 years.

How, when and where did you determine that Israel is guilty of an "illegal occupation"?

Let me ask everyone else out there - what has happened to people, organizations, "churches" who claim to be Christian?

You CANNOT be a Christian while denying Israel her right to exist in the lands given to her by God, long, long ago. You are aware Jesus is Jewish, right?

And no - the "church" does not, did not and never will take the place of Israel. She was, is and will always be the "apple of God's eye."

I'm sure I'll find more of this warped vision of "illegal occupation" amongst other links from CPTs website.

Ah - the pursuit of Truth continues with every footstep.
